I shoot in the original aspect ratio of the camera (to use all the sensor area), then in post processing I crop in the "Unconstrained" mode, if it looks best at 3.4:1.8 so be it.

As long as you maintain the perspective of the image.

For example, cropping a 3:2 image that has a house on the right side to create a 1:1 image that has the house in the middle of the frame - the cropped image does not look natural.

Then again, “art” can be anything.

Personally, I know what I want during the original framing.

So do I. however, there is often accidental clutter that appears and has to be cropped or a horizon that needs straitening, which may result in playing around with the framing, .. etc..
